SHORT FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ------------------------- - Tree functions execute piped commands (grep, awk) on local system when launched on remote slave which can cause more bandwith usage FAR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ----------------------- - MultiMaster support - Rethink of .osync_workdir/state/* files with PIDs, Host and Task Names to better identify multiple instances on the same fileset - Improve Master / Slave schema to Multimaster schema - State files should exist per replica for Multimaster schema KNOWN ISSUES ------------ - Still need more testing on BSD, MacOSX and Windows MSYS UNDER WORK ---------- !- Better deletion propagation (again). Using rsync for deletion propagation is definitly not working in all cases (especially empty sub directories) RECENT CHANGES -------------- - Added a simple init script working for RHEL / CentOS and an install script - Fixed an issue with MacOSX using rsync -E differently than other *nix (Thanks to Pierre Clement) - Multislave asynchronous task support (Thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath) - This breaks compat with elder osync runs. Add the SYNC_ID suffix to elder state files to keep deleted file information. - Added an easier debug setting i.e DEBUG=yes ./osync.sh (Again, thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath) - Added hardlink preservation (Thanks to Ulrich Norbisrath) - Added external exclusion file support (Thanks to Pierre Clement) - Fixed some typos in doc and program itself (Thanks to Pierre Clement) - More detailled verbose status messages - More detailled status messages - Fixed a bug preventing propagation of empty directory deletions - Fixed a nasty bug preventing writing lock files on remote system as superuser - Gzipped logs are now deleted once sent - Fixed some typos (thanks to Pavel Kiryukhin) - Added a simple RHEL / CentOS compatible init script - Fixed a bug with double trailing slashes in certain sceanrios - Sync execution don't fails anymore if files vanish during execution, also vanished files get logged - Add eventual "comm -23" replacement by "grep -F -x -v -f" to enhance compatibility with other platforms (comm is still much faster than grep, so we keep it) - Replaced xargs rm with find -exec rm to better handle file names in soft deletion - Fixed soft deletion not happening with relative paths - Improved process termination behavior - More code merging and cleanup - Fixed a bug preventing deleted files in subdirectories propagation (Thanks to Richard Faasen for pointing that out) - Some more function merge in sync process - Dry mode won't create or modifiy state files anymore and will use dry-state files instead - Improved file monitor mode - Added possibility to daemonize osync in monitor mode - Added monitor mode, which will launch a sync task upon file operations on master replica - Changed conf file default format for ssh uri (old format is still compatible) - Added ssh uri support for slave replicas - Improved execution hooks logs - Various bugfixes introduced with function merge - Added basic MacOS X support (yet not fully tested) - Merged tree list functions into one - Added possibility to quick sync two local directories without any prior configuration - Added time control on OS detection - 02 Nov. 2013: Osync 0.99 RC2 - Minor improvement on operating system detection - Improved RunLocalCommand execution hook - Minor improvements on permission checks - Made more portability improvements (mostly for FreeBSD, must be run with bash shell) - Added local and remote operating system detection - Added forced usage of MSYS find on remote MSYS hosts - Updated MSYS handling - Merged MSYS (MinGW minimal system) bash compatibility under Windows from Obackup - Added check for /var/log directory - Added check for shared memory directory - Added alternative way to kill child processes for other OSes and especially for MSYS (which is a very odd way) - Added Sendemail.exe support for windows Alerting - Replaced which commend by type -p, as it is more portable - Added support for ping.exe from windows - Forced usage of MSYS find instead of Windows' find.exe on master - Added an optionnal remote rsync executable path parameter - Fixed an issue with CheckConnectivity3rdPartyHosts - Added an option to stop execution if a local / remote command fails - Improved forced quit command by killing all child processes - Before / after commands are now ignored on dryruns - Improved verbose output - Fixed various typos - Enforced CheckConnectivityRemoteHost and CheckConnectivity3rdPartyHosts checks (if one of these fails, osync is stopped) - 18 Aug. 2013: Osync 0.99 RC1 - Added possibility to change default logfile - Fixed a possible error upon master replica lock check - Fixed exclude directorires with spaces in names generate errros on master replica tree functions - Dryruns won't create after run tree lists and therefore not prevent building real run delete lists - Softdelete and conflict backup functions are now time controlled - Added bandwidth limit - Update and delete functions now run rsync with --stats parameter - Fixed LoadConfigFile function will not warn on wrong config file - Added --no-maxtime parameter for sync big changes without enforcing execution time checks - 03 Aug. 2013: beta 3 milestone - Softdelete functions do now honor --dry switch - Simplified sync delete functions - Enhanced compatibility with different charsets in filenames - Added CentOS 5 compatibility (comm v5.97 without --nocheck-order function replaced by sort) - Tree functions now honor supplementary rsync arguments - Tree functions now honor exclusion lists - 01 Aug. 2013: beta 2 milestone - Fixed an issue with spaces in directory trees - Fixed an issue with recursive directory trees - Revamped a bit code to add bash 3.2 compatibility - 24 Jul. 2013: beta milestone - Fixed some bad error handling in CheckMasterSlaveDirs and LockDirectories - Added support for spaces in sync dirs and exclude lists - Fixed false exit code if no remote slave lock present - Added minimum disk space checks - Added osync support in ssh_filter.sh - Added support for sudo exec on remote slave - Added support for alternative rsync executable - Added support for spaces in sync directories names - Added support for ACL and xattr - Added --force-unlock parameter to bypass any existing locks on replicas - Added full remote support for slave replica - Improved error detection - Made some changes in execution hook output - Fixed an issue with task execution handling exit codes - Added master and slave replicas lock functionnality - Added rsync exclude patterns support - Improved backup items, can now have multiple backups of the same file - Added maximum number of resume tries before trying a fresh stateless execution - Added possibility to resume a sync after an error - Improved task execution time handling - Improved SendAlert handling - Fixed cleanup launched even if DEBUG=yes - Added verbose rsync output - Added --dry and --silent parameters - Added time control - Added master/slave conflict prevalance option - Added soft-deleted items - Added backup items in case of conflict 19 Jun. 2013: Project begin as Obackup fork
